Hellingly & Horsebridge

DOG BINS: Concerning Lower Horsebridge Recreation Ground. A request had been received by the PC from the rugby club for an additional dog waste bin and signs to be erected as they had to remove dog waste from the pitch before they could play. It was agreed that the chairman of the grounds committee would have a look at the location of the bins and signs on the recreation ground and a decision be made in March.
